John 19:31–42
31 Then the Jews, because it was athe day of preparation, so that bthe bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (1for that Sabbath was a chigh day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was acrucified with Him;
33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately ablood and water came out.
35 And he who has seen has atestified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
36 For these things came to pass ato fulfill the Scripture, “bNot a bone of Him shall be 1broken.”
37 And again another Scripture says, “aThey shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
38 aAfter these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a bsecret one for cfear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.
39 aNicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bbringing a 1mixture of cmyrrh and aloes, about a dhundred 2pounds weight.
40 So they took the body of Jesus and abound it in blinen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a anew tomb bin which no one had yet been laid.
42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of apreparation, since the tomb was bnearby, they laid Jesus there.
